To Preserve the Tops Of Stockings.

If other mothers have been troubled
AS / have been with the inevitable holes
made in the tops Of stockings by every
variety of stocking supporter, they
may be glad to learn of my way out of
the difficulty. TO one end of "A strip of
elastic four inches long sew a doubled
piece of tape long and wide enough for
a stout buttonhole. This buttons on
the waist. To the other end ] sew two
narrower strips of tape. four or five
inches long, and these l tie to cores
ponding tapes on the stockings. Each
stocking is finished around the top on
the inside By a piece of tape, from the
opposite sides of which come the
strings which tie over the knee. AT
night all that is necessary to do is to
unbutton them from the waist.-Baby-
hood.

A Road of Glass.

BY and by we reached the obsidian
cliffs-a bluff from $50 to $50 feet in
height and 1000 feet in length. AS il
was necessary to build a carriage-way
under this cliff, and indeed | may say
across it, Col. Norris accomplished il
by building huge fires upon the larger
masses, and then dashing cold water
upon the heated surface, which, being
suddenly cooled were shattered into
fragments that were easily moved, and
thus the road bed is composed OF bro.
ken obsidian or volcanic glass; but one
would never imagine that he was driv-
ing over a glass highway, unless he
CHANGED TO get a little beneath the sur
face and discovered q bit of obsidian
that resembles the bottom of a bottle,
as | did. 1t is almost black, quite
Opaque, and the edges of it, when
Clipped off at a proper angle, are as
sharp as razors. Of it the Indians
fashioned arrow-heads, weapons and
tools. The supply seems in~exhaustible,
for it is found in many parts of the
National park, and these cliffs alone,
as a mine. or fountain, shall say, are
probably uneaualed in the world

Foul Air and Musty Rooms.

In many rooms there is always a
musty smell on a wet day in summer.
Why is this? Because the windows
are shut to keep out the rain, while the
fireplace is shut to keep out the SCOT.
1t is almost a note of a good house
maid to close the valve of the stove as
o as the fires are left off; and if this
remains closed, the ventilation OF the
room throughout the summer is left to
depend on the windows alone. In
other words, is suspended at night,
and when even there is much wind OF
rain in the day. If DIR. Parker's rule
never to stop up the chimney and never
to close the regulator were more -,
tended to, much less foul air would ,.

IN THE WATER OFFICE.
Indignant Water.takers who Would
Rather Dig q Well Than Pay.

The water Office in these days is the stage where
On many amusing comedies are enacted by indig-
nant water-takers and the employees of the Dis
trict government. TIE dialogue between some of
the water-takers and the clerks is highly spiced.
"Ol niver pay that aight dollars Of OF hev ter dig
well and pull the wather up bye a stirring meself -
exclaimed diminutive man to-day as he danced
out OF the Office into the corridor with his water
blu in his hand. His face was red with rage and
he was quivering with excitement. He was thor
oughly mad The cause of his emotion was so far
as The STAR reporter could learn, the alleged ex-
orbitant and unjust rent imposed upon him for
water. He keeps little grocery and liquor store,
and the District Commissioners charge him s. for
the small spigot which is In the back roorn and
from which he 'don't dhraw quart av wather
the year, begorra, whfn there's pOOmp in front
ay the dure." This individuals grievance is but
one OF the scores OF similar presented daily
the commissioners, who are forced by their posi-
tons TO spend the better part of the day In lis
tening TO the complaints and explaining to them
that they are not exceptions to the general rule,
and even they ithe Commissioners must pay a
proportionate rent for the water they use. Not
one man In dozen, however, is appeased by the
explanation, and they go away vOwing never to
pay, but rather to dig we'll at cost OF 800 or
more. They generally pay uI before the day
comes when they must pay or have the water
shut of.

MARYLAND SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN THE wOODS-A
DRENCHING RAIN But SLIGHTLY INTERPRETERS WITH
THE ENJOYMENT OF THOSE PRESENT.
Yesterday the annual union picnic OF the Sum-
day schools In that part OF Anne Arundel County,
Nd, adjacent TO the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road Qamiliarly known as "BrOIher RObinson's
picnic'0, took place at Jackson Grove, near Oden-
ton. Many persons come by rail and others by
wagon or on horseback, and by noon, while the
rain was pouring In torrents probably 500 people
were on the ground or rather packed in the taber-
nacle and hotel and in the carriages. 1t was not
long before the waters OF Severn River Overhowed,
and some OF the bridges in the vicinity were swept
away. When the rain cleared it was but a few
minutes before prOmenading was the order of the
day, varied by lce-creain eating, lemonade
drinking and candy sucking. just before the rain
fell interesting exercises took place at the stand
and addresses were made by Rev. Ii. McNemar, OF
the NJ. +. Church, and Rev. W. r. Stricken, of the
NJ. Z. Church South. There were on the ground
Timber Ridge, sulphur Springs, Waugh Chapel
and Severn M. T.. sunday schools and Ridge
Chapel, Bethel and Trinity NJ E. South schools,
and during the afternoon they took turns at sing
ing, accompanied by fine organ. Although 1t
was sunday school picnic, the result OF the DEM
ocratic county convention of Tuesday formed the
chief topic OF conversation with the men, who dis
cuSSed the strength OF the candidates In the field
and the probabilities as TO who the opposing can
didateS will be.

THE WESTINGHOUSE AGAIN DEFEAT THE DErROITS-A
FINE EXHIBITION OF BALL TOSSING.
Nearly everybody expected that in the last game
OF the series the Detroit slugger5 would administer
a crushing defeat to the Statesmen, but when
inning followed inning yesterday afternoon with
out the visitors being able to get man around
the bases, and almost without getting base, the
interest In the contest became intense. FOrtu-
nately the WashingtonS had secured a run in the
first inning, on base on balls and O'BrienS hot
hit over second. This was Slight lead with
which to play nine innings. but try
couid not increase their score. They were
innings had been played the score stood to in
favor, just as it did at the close OF the first
Inning. It was most remarkable game OF ball,
characterized by splendid fielding and phenOme-
nal pitching. The most credit IS due to young
Gilmore, who, time and again, struck out the
heaviest hitterS OF the league, when q good solid
hit would have lost the game to the home team.
He struck out eight men, and sent one to his
base on balls. Seven clean hits were made of his
delivery, small number considering the men who
were at the bat. Getzein pitched splendidly for
the visitors, and but two clean hits were made of
his twlSters. one by OBrien and twO-bagger by
Myers. Only three errors were made during the
game, and they were eXcuSable-a mufIed foul H.
by DOanelly, a Wide throw by Mack, and a FUN
bled grOunder by Hanlon. The only other league
game played yesterday was between Boston and
Chicago. IL was won by Boston, after q hard
